The College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture's Department of Architecture had its
annual Urban Architecture trip to New
York City on Saturday, September 2nd, for the current Architecture
Graduate students and Undergraduate seniors. The trip routinely alternates
between New York and Boston each year and has been held every fall for the past
7 years. The purpose of the trip is to both examine interesting urban
architecture as well as to celebrate the new academic year.
This year, the students started the day
exploring the contemporary architecture of the World Trade Center Memorial,
PATH station, and Battery Park city. Afterward, the students stopped at
Chelsea Market for lunch. Then, the
group hiked the Highline Park and overlooked the new Zaha Hadid building, and
the construction of the massive Hudson Yards development. Finally, the students
visited the Cloisters Museum in Hudson Heights, where they examined midlevel
art and architecture set in a park overlooking the Hudson River. The day
ended with a sleepy bus ride home. Most of the group ate dinner in the
Architecture Department Crit Room and talked about their adventures of the day.
Professor Seth Holmes, the Architecture Graduate Program Director, remarked
that, “all in all, it was a great architectural adventure.”
Ariane Bamberg, Jan-Hendrik Höhnk, Alexis Hoff, and Maik
Wedig were the Graduate students that traveled to NYC on Saturday. The Undergraduate
seniors that attended the trip were Alvi Aliaj, Justin Barros, Richard Briggs, Damian
Collins, Justin Hernandez, and Daniel Sadowniczyk. The faculty that led and organized the event
are Professor Seth Holmes and Professor Ted Sawruk. The Manager of Graduate
programs, Laurie Granstrand, also attended the trip.
